Nick Ondras’s review of Mike Newell’s Jerry Bruckheimer-produced tentpole PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME.

Remembering one of Hollywood’s greatest ball-busters.

Three new clips from Pixar’s latest.

Apparently Desmond is not the constant, but I am.  To take a side step from the usual movie bantering that goes on here, I have been obsessed with Lost for the past 5 years.  5 Years because I started a year behind and had to catch up.  I still remember lying in my bed when [...]

Eli Roth-produced THE LAST EXORCISM, out this August, yet again brings up the idea of reality-based horror (plus trailer reaction!)

Orlando Bloom has joined James Corden as summit Entertainment is bringing back another remake of Three Musketeers, this time in 3D.  Orlando Bloom as the franchise star will bring his star power to this movie, and no surprise that they are following the 3D craze, which unfortunately means that I will automatically go into this [...]

You did not read that incorrectly. Can you imagine (legally) watching Iron Man 2 in the comfort of your own home just 4 weeks after it hits theaters?  Lets say you miss a movie while it is in theaters, and just accept that fact that you will eventually Netflix it.  Or, you want to see a certain [...]

Universal’s MACGRUBER failed to barely perform at all, while DreamWorks animated SHREK FOREVER AFTER posted a mediocre opening when closely analyzed in Nick Ondras’s weekend box office report.

Nick Ondras’s review of DreamWorks Animations’ latest entry into the ‘Shrek’ series SHREK FOREVER AFTER.

Mike Myers has been a household name for the past 15 years bringing laughter and unique characters to audiences everywhere.  Straight from SNL, he brought us the loveable Waynes World and the quoting just got started.  Then came the Austin Powers series and I think I spent most of 1997 watching that movie on VHS [...]

For a movie on the heels of a few terribly subpar ones, SNL alum ‘MacGruber’ remains an undeniable must-see this weekend.

Megatron was not the reason for the demise of Megan Fox’s character from Transformers. Instead, it is Megan Fox herself to be blamed. Months ago, we reported that Fox and Michael Bay, the director of the Transformers movies, were feuding.  To sum it up quickly, Fox made public statements that to be in a Michael [...]

J.J. Abrams took the country by storm with his 2008 science fiction first person camera hit Cloverfield.  This movie was like nothing I’ve seen before.  It consisted of a Godzilla like creature but shot in the first person point of view of a minor character who runs around the whole time with a hand held [...]

Nick Ondras’s review of Ridley Scott’s medieval epic ROBIN HOOD.

Ridley Scott’s ROBIN HOOD sat passenger to Marvel’s epic IRON MAN 2 in Nick Ondras’s box office report.

KICK-ASS duo Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman are officially taking on X-MEN: FIRST CLASS.

Movie studios are utilizing online video in ways like never before to try to create the new video that will gain viral buzz and be shared around the internet like that third line cheerleader who got passed around the football team as a way to try to fit in with the popular girls.  With users [...]

Iron Man 2 premiered last week and totally dominated the box office. Unfortunately for Iron Man, well we all know the Summer lineup is full of big time blockbusters, which often doesn’t give a lot of time for big movies to make their buck. This is because before you know it, the next big movie [...]

The Movie Banter has been cruising lately.  We made a solid impression at Tribeca, have seen tons of movies, the sites been growing, and now we are looking to bring in an intern to work with us to help expand our site with writing and work on social media.  We started this blog because we [...]

One of our most active banterers is in the process of creating his own independent movie with his team.  We have reviewed many independent movies here and love checking out new ones.  I always like the determination of new film producers trying to create a quality movie on a low budget and putting it out [...]

IRON MAN 2 smashed records while surprising no one in Nick Ondras’s weekend box office report.

DUE TO VIDEO IT DIFFICULTIES – WE ARE REPOSTING THIS. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELOW Last Friday, April 30th, 2010, the Tribeca Film Festival ended its 12 day event with the premiere of Freakonomics, a film adapted from the incredibly popular correlation/causality book written by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. Yes people, this book is [...]

“It’s good to be back,” so says Tony Stark at the very beginning of the film. Well Tony, it’s good to have you back. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his iconic role of Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, which premieres today May 7th, 2010. Joining him in the reboot is the film’s director John Favreau, [...]

With the death of Miramax and the rise of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and CLASH OF THE TITANS 3D on the charts, will the entire independent film scene soon be biting the dust?

Downey Jr. is one of the coolest guys to watch on screen. The guy has more fun with his job than most actors I have seen. If not, then he’s one hell of an actor – which he also is by the way. He has more fun playing Tony Stark than Mark Cuban has excuses [...]

It’s only one week into May and already the summer buzz talk is blowing up, and that can only mean one thing. Iron Man 2 is almost here! After the highly entertaining and well received first movie 2 years ago, the sequel will bless Tony Stark fans around the country this weekend.  although this may [...]

Nick Ondras’s review of Tom Six’s horror THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE).

Samuel Bayer’s reboot of Craven’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street” weaved $32.2 million at #1 in Nick Ondras’s weekend box office report.

I’ve spoken a lot about my favorite movie rental service Netflix recently, and that’s because I am a huge groupie of it, and right before I wrote this post I picked up my newest blu-ray title from my mailbox.  I like them more than 13 year old girls like Justin Beiber right now, and that’s [...]
